PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 568,153, dated September 22, 1896.

Application filed July 9, 1896. Serial No. 598,574. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it mag concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN BALLENGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lock wood, in the county of Dade and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flows; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention has relation to improvements in plows; and the object of the invention is to provide an adjustable shoe and landside for plows that will be simple and durable and readily adjustable and removable when necessary to replace worn ones.

To this end the novelty consists in the construction, combination, and arrangement of the several parts of the same, as will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings the same figures of reference indicate'the same parts of the invention.

Figure 1 is a view in perspective of my improved plow. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the point inclined to give a greater rake to the plow. Fig. 4 is a side view with the landsideplate removed. Fig. 5 is a view'taken from the opposite side. Fig. 6 is a transverse section of the forward end ofthe plow, taken on the line of the pivot-bolt 6; and Fig. 7 is a perspective View of the shoe detached from theplow. I

1 represents the plow-point,.which is removably secured to the landside 2 by a bolt 3, and4: represents the landside-plate, secured at its forward semicircular end 5 to the landside 2 by a pivot-bolt 6, the semicircular end 5 fitting snugly and flush in the correspondingly-shaped recess 7 in the forward end of the landside 2. Said plate extends backward parallel with and the full lengthof said landside, to the rear end of which it is secured by a bolt 8, passing through a vertical slot 9 in the landside and through an orifice 10 in the lug 12 of the shoe 13, which extends underneath the plate and landside up to the rear end of the point 1. The forward end of this as shown in Fig. 2, but if the bolt 8 be loosened and the rear end of the landside be raised it will throw the forward end of the point downward, as shown in Fig. 3, and by this means any desired amount of rake can be given to the point.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States,

. 1. A plow comprising the landside 2, provided with the dovetail recess 15 and vertical slot 9, in combination with the shoe 13, having the integral lug 12 at its rear end, and provided at its forward end with the dovetail lug 14 and the bolts 6 and 8, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. A plow comprising the landside 2, provided with the semicircular recess 7 and dovetail recess 15, the vertical slot 9, in combina tion with the shoe 13 having the integral lug 12 and dovetail lug 14, and the landside-plate 4: having a forward semicircular end 5 and bolt-orifice at its rear end, and the bolts 6 and 8, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. A plow comprising the removable point I BENJAMIN BALLENGER.
